Question about buying a pre owned car from a dealership
Advertisements [?]
Edited on Thu Jan-29-09 01:31 AM by MidwestTransplant
Anybody have any experience with buying a used car? Wondering approximately what percent dealers will come off on their cars. I understand that it depends on how popular the car is and how long they had it but does anybody have a rule of thumb?
